The recipe, is an easy way to use up ingredients that are in your fridge or it's a quick meal for your hungry family or friends. The best part is, you just need a pan and a wooden spoon and the rest is history!

Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Then add garlic and jalapenos and saute for 5 more minutes. Add the beef and pork to the onion mixture and cook until the meat is brown, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet to release the yummy brown bits, about 10 minutes.

Add the chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, and the can of tomatoes. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Once the liquid has reduced, add the beans, corn, salt and pepper and combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust. Top with frozen tater tots. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, the tater tots should be golden brown and the mixture should be bubbling.

A Little About Me —

I am an honest, hardworking, and humble lady from Milwaukee, WI who loves her state! My true passion is for cooking and making people’s taste buds beg for more. I dream about peas in butter with shallots, smoked sausages (especially Hungarian), and anything that has to do with cabbage. Yes, I am a freak about cabbage. I learned from my mother and father as they let us girls (there are four of us) take over the kitchen and experiment. Cooking makes me feel at ease, and that I am master of my own little universe in my kitchen. I am at my best when the vinyl is rocking, the flame is hot, and the wine is flowing. Spend some time getting to know me and fall in love with my fight and love for food.
